- Administrative/biographical history:
- The city of Hildesheim was the capital of the prince-bishopric principality (Fürstbistum) Hildesheim until the end of the Holy Roman Empire. It was independent within the principality and assigned to none of its districts. After the secularisation of the diocese in 1802, the city and principality fell to Prussia after the peace treaty of Paris. After the defeat of Prussia in the battle near Jena and Auerstedt in 1806 , the city became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Westphalia, a Napoleonic satellite state, and became the capital of the district Hildesheim in the Département de l'Ocker (Oker District). Through an agreement between Prussia and Hanover in 1813, which was confirmed at the Congress of Vienna, the principality of Hildesheim became a part of the Kingdom of Hanover. The city of Hildesheim became independent under the new Hanoverian constitution and remained an independent city, even after the acquisition of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia in 1866 and the Prussian district reform of 1885. In 1911, the community of Moritzberg was incorporated, as well as Gutsbezirk Steuerwald in 1912. In 1938, the urban area was extended by the villages Neuhof and Drispenstedt. As part of an administrative and territorial reform in 1974, the city of Hildesheim was incorporated into the district of Hildesheim. At the same time, the city was enlarged by the municipalities of Achtum-Uppen; Bavenstedt; Einum; Himmelsthür; Itzum; Marienburg; Marienrode and Sorsum, making it a metropolis (Großstadt). In 2013, Hildesheim lost the metropolitan status due to the nationwide census which established fewer than 100,000 inhabitants in Hildesheim.
